Technorati's State of the Blogosphere Report
70 Million Blogs
120,000 new weblogs each day
1.4 new blogs every second
Technorati is known widely for its quarterly State of the Blogosphere reports, analyzing the trends
around blogs and blogging.
They released their recent report this week. 70 Milion blogs out there now! Thats about 120,000 per day or 1.4 blogs every second!
"Spam and splogs (spam blogs) continue to be a problem in the blogosphere, and there was a marked increase in splogs that coincided with the holiday season last year. Technorati has been tracking between 3,000 - 7,000 new splogs created each day, but there was a significant spike in splog creation during early December, when we tracked over 11,000 splogs created each day during December - a total of 341,000 splogs that we removed from our indexes during that period."
Other interesting notes - There are about 1.5 million posts per day, or... 17 posts per second. Japanese the #1 blogging language at 37%, with English second at 33% , Chinese third at 8% and Italian fourth at 3% .
That’s so interesting, I would have guesses the 18-24 year olds would have the most blogs. I’m in the 25-34 range and I find it hard to keep up with my blogs and blogs I follow. I guess others manage better than I do when it comes to blogging.
